Over the years, sex has been compared to many different things - but the act of selling isn’t one that readily comes to mind. Throughout the pages of Selling Is Better Than Sex, though, author Alen Majer provides the reader with ample convincing parallels between the art of lovemaking and the act of closing a deal.
Essentially, Majer emphasizes that the success or failure of each practice is directly related to the level of energy that you contribute to them; in other words, the greater the enthusiasm, the more “fruitful” the experience will be. Furthermore, passion is key in either case: loving what you do while you do it ensures that you’ll reap greater rewards once the deed is done.
Naturally, one may suspect that Majer’s topic of choice would open the door to raunchy, lewd references or toilet humor, but he presents his case in quite the compelling - and tasteful - fashion, in so doing providing the reader with a refreshing, original take on how to achieve greater success in the business world.
With a plethora of insightful advice and practical examples, Selling Is Better Than Sex is a must-read for businessmen and women worldwide. A pleasantly enjoyable literary treat.

Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan
Still Time Plus Giving Thanks
Still time to let us know below when you read.Today, at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com/ I'm giving thanks for the gift of writing. What about you?
When Do You Read?
When I stopped to catch my breath after publishing Killer Career, it dawned on me I'd neglected the enjoyment of reading for too long. During my ten minute breakfast, I'd read the newspaper or a writing magazine, but couldn't get into fiction because I'd have to tear myself away too soon to leave for work.I'd spent most of my commuting time on the train either writing or promoting my books, and at lunch the same.
On vacation, I'd had time to read and wanted to spend more time on the other side of the book, so to speak.
To remedy the situation, I tuck a paperback into my tote bag each morning. I read it sometimes on the commuter train, most of the time during lunch or my breaks.
At home in the evening, I very rarely read. There's too much noise and too many interruptions from the TV, the dog and the DH. Right now for example, Rascal is whining for no reason except to get my attention, while a commercial is playing in the living room.
Anyway, I'm glad to have found a way to fit reading back into my schedule and look forward to my time away from the real world each day, even though it's for a short while.
What about you? When do you read?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
